With the recent passing of the American HealthCare Act in the House of Representatives, health care is a main topic of discussion for many Americans. But the debate over health care in the US started a lot earlier than you may think.
On today's episode, you'll learn about the activist that first brought a healthcare proposal to the government, the number of presidents that have tried to pass a universal healthcare plan, and why universal health care was never passed in America.

Firearms have a long and unique history in the United States. They're controversial, and they have a huge impact on public health and safety. This month's special HealthcareTriage series will look at firearms as a public health issue in the United States. This week, we'll be looking at the history of guns in the US, and how gun legislation has changed over the last couple of hundred years, and how courts' interpretations of the second amendment have changed. In the next few weeks, we'll look at gun homicides, gun suicides, and firearm policy.
Update: When we called the AR15 an assault rifle, we probably should have said assault weapon. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

Public health provision was completely transformed as the 19th century progressed. Overcrowding, dirt, poverty and disease went hand in hand at the century's start, but by the 1900s energetic social reformers had comprehensively turned things round.

The demand for health care is going to double in the next 20 years worldwide. Find out the trends, technologies and numbers behind how both emerging nations and established economies are going to meet these needs head on. Health Care spending at home and abroad will explode in the coming decades. Several industries will contribute to the progress made in the innovation and delivery of care.

A video of the history of Health CareWithoutHarm and its international efforts to help the health care sector reduce its environmental footprint.

Access to health care varies across countries, groups, and individuals, largely influenced by social and economic conditions as well as the health policies in place. Countries and jurisdictions have different policies and plans in relation to the personal and population-based health care goals within their societies. Health care systems are organizations established to meet the health needs of target populations. Their exact configuration varies between national and subnational entities. In some countries and jurisdictions, health care planning is distributed among market participants, whereas in others, planning occurs more centrally among governments or other coordinating bodies. In all cases, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), a well-functioning health care system requires a robust financing mechanism; a well-trained and adequately-paid workforce; reliable information on which to base decisions and policies; and well maintained health facilities and logistics to deliver quality medicines and technologies.

Health

Health is the level of functional or metabolic efficiency of a living organism. In humans it is the ability of individuals or communities to adapt and self-manage when facing physical, mental or social challenges. The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in its 1948 constitution as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This definition has been subject to controversy, in particular as lacking operational value and because of the problem created by use of the word "complete" Other definitions have been proposed, among which a recent definition that correlates health and personal satisfaction. Classification systems such as the WHO Family of International Classifications, including the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), are commonly used to define and measure the components of health. Health is that balanced condition of the living organism in which the integral, harmonious performance of the vital functions tends to the preservation of the organism and the normal development of the individual.

History

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

History (from Greekἱστορία, historia, meaning "inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation") is the study of the past, particularly how it relates to humans. It is an umbrella term that relates to past events as well as the memory, discovery, collection, organization, presentation, and interpretation of information about these events. Scholars who write about history are called historians. Events occurring prior to written record are considered prehistory.

History can also refer to the academic discipline which uses a narrative to examine and analyse a sequence of past events, and objectively determine the patterns of cause and effect that determine them. Historians sometimes debate the nature of history and its usefulness by discussing the study of the discipline as an end in itself and as a way of providing "perspective" on the problems of the present.

Stories common to a particular culture, but not supported by external sources (such as the tales surrounding King Arthur), are usually classified as cultural heritage or legends, because they do not show the "disinterested investigation" required of the discipline of history.Herodotus, a 5th-century BC Greek historian is considered within the Western tradition to be the "father of history", and, along with his contemporary Thucydides, helped form the foundations for the modern study of human history. Their works continue to be read today, and the gap between the culture-focused Herodotus and the military-focused Thucydides remains a point of contention or approach in modern historical writing. In Asia, a state chronicle, the Spring and Autumn Annals was known to be compiled from as early as 722 BC although only 2nd century BC texts survived.

A History of Health Care Reform Through Political Cartoons

A History of Health Care Reform Through Political Cartoons

A History of Health Care Reform Through Political Cartoons

Featuring more than 200 examples of the century's best political art, a new history of health care reform provides an entertaining review of 100 years of partisan wrangling over medical insurance -- from Theodore Roosevelt's support for protection from the "hazards of sickness" in 1912 to the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act in 2012.
"Political cartoons cut to the essence of our battle over who should foot the bill for medical coverage and how that care should be structured," explains TheodoreBrown, one the four authors of The Quest for Health Care Reform: A Satirical History due out in October 2012. "But unlike the pain involved in our political struggle, cartoons deliver their uncomfortable truths with such irreverent wit and visual imagination that you can't help but chuckle."
Brown, a historian of medicine, public health, and health policy at the University of Rochester, provides the historical context for each cartoon and authored introductory chapters on early health care reform efforts. He says the book's broad sweep helps to bring into focus many of the themes and political patterns that surface over and over throughout the decades. The "political use of fear, hope, selective memory, and outright distortion will be seen as running threads in our health reform history," he writes in the book's preface.
From the first decades of the 20th century, critics sought to brand universal medical coverage as "un-American" and "socialistic." Government health care was derided as "Germanic" after World War I, as revolutionary following the Russian Revolution (1917), and as a subversive plot engineered by the Kremlin during the McCarthy era. Long before accusations about "death panels" surfaced during the 2009 debate, opponents decried federal financed medical insurance as "state medicine" and as early as the 1920s the American Medical Association characterized any government plan as "robotic."
While many of the overarching themes have remained the same, the complexity of the nation's health delivery system and the number and financial power of special interests has mushroomed in recent decades, says Brown. From pharmaceutical and insurance lobbies to hospitals, physicians, and patient rights groups, the debate has grown more complex and confusing for the public.
It is precisely in this cacophony of competing perspectives that political cartoonists have offered some of our most brilliant social commentary, says coauthor Susan Ladwig, a public health professional at the University of Rochester Medical Center. Ladwig selected many of the cartoons for the history and has collaborated with Brown for years on presentations about the history of health care. Using visual metaphors, like depicting the public as a sick patient or the health care system as an overly complicated machine, these artist are able to home in on the underlying truths and self-interests that can otherwise be lost in daily news coverage, she explains.
"The book makes the whole complex topic of health care more accessible, even fun," says Ladwig. "Hopefully people are going to want to read this history. I hope they don't just skip over the narrative, but even if they just view the cartoons, they will come away with a better understanding of heath care reform. It may even change a few people's minds when they know the whole story."
The book brings together the work of more than 27 cartoonists, including 10 winners of the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning.
The Political Cartoon History of Health Care Reform is the brainchild of GeorgesBenjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, whose collection of close to 1,000 cartoons on health care laid the basis for the project. Coauthor Elyse Berkman, a graduate student in health policy at City University of New York, assisted with research.
Published by the American Public Health Association, the 212-page paperback can be ordered online at http://www.aphabookstore.org.

Long before accusations about "death panels" surfaced during the 2009 debate, opponents decried federal financed medical insurance as "state medicine" and as early as the 1920s the American Medical Association characterized any government plan as "robotic."
While many of the overarching themes have remained the same, the complexity of the nation's health delivery system and the number and financial power of special interests has mushroomed in recent decades, says Brown. From pharmaceutical and insurance lobbies to hospitals, physicians, and patient rights groups, the debate has grown more complex and confusing for the public.
It is precisely in this cacophony of competing perspectives that political cartoonists have offered some of our most brilliant social commentary, says coauthor Susan Ladwig, a public health professional at the University of Rochester Medical Center. Ladwig selected many of the cartoons for the history and has collaborated with Brown for years on presentations about the history of health care. Using visual metaphors, like depicting the public as a sick patient or the health care system as an overly complicated machine, these artist are able to home in on the underlying truths and self-interests that can otherwise be lost in daily news coverage, she explains.
"The book makes the whole complex topic of health care more accessible, even fun," says Ladwig. "Hopefully people are going to want to read this history. I hope they don't just skip over the narrative, but even if they just view the cartoons, they will come away with a better understanding of heath care reform. It may even change a few people's minds when they know the whole story."
The book brings together the work of more than 27 cartoonists, including 10 winners of the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning.
The Political Cartoon History of Health Care Reform is the brainchild of GeorgesBenjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, whose collection of close to 1,000 cartoons on health care laid the basis for the project. Coauthor Elyse Berkman, a graduate student in health policy at City University of New York, assisted with research.
Published by the American Public Health Association, the 212-page paperback can be ordered online at http://www.aphabookstore.org.

Featuring more than 200 examples of the century's best political art, a new history of health care reform provides an entertaining review of 100 years of partisan wrangling over medical insurance -- from Theodore Roosevelt's support for protection from the "hazards of sickness" in 1912 to the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act in 2012.
"Political cartoons cut to the essence of our battle over who should foot the bill for medical coverage and how that care should be structured," explains TheodoreBrown, one the four authors of The Quest for Health Care Reform: A Satirical History due out in October 2012. "But unlike the pain involved in our political struggle, cartoons deliver their uncomfortable truths with such irreverent wit and visual imagination that you can't help but chuckle."
Brown, a historian of medicine, public health, and health policy at the University of Rochester, provides the historical context for each cartoon and authored introductory chapters on early health care reform efforts. He says the book's broad sweep helps to bring into focus many of the themes and political patterns that surface over and over throughout the decades. The "political use of fear, hope, selective memory, and outright distortion will be seen as running threads in our health reform history," he writes in the book's preface.

Epidauros revisited: The history of Health

A Global History of Health: Reconstructing Humankind’s Encounters with Infectious Diseases

HistorianMonica Green’s lecture “A Global History of Health" addresses the need for a narrative of global health that encompasses every continent, across time, and includes all major infectious diseases. This means, as well, the inclusion of histories of pathogens and the human actions that played a role in human exposure to disease. As she reframes the public discussion of epidemic and pandemic, Green’s work is relevant to biomedical researchers, molecular biologists, population geneticists, and policymakers.

History of Health Care in America - US 101

With the recent passing of the American HealthCare Act in the House of Representatives, health care is a main topic of discussion for many Americans. But the debate over health care in the US started a lot earlier than you may think.
On today's episode, you'll learn about the activist that first brought a healthcare proposal to the government, the number of presidents that have tried to pass a universal healthcare plan, and why universal health care was never passed in America.

A Brief History of Guns in America: Guns and Public Health Part 1

Firearms have a long and unique history in the United States. They're controversial, and they have a huge impact on public health and safety. This month's special HealthcareTriage series will look at firearms as a public health issue in the United States. This week, we'll be looking at the history of guns in the US, and how gun legislation has changed over the last couple of hundred years, and how courts' interpretations of the second amendment have changed. In the next few weeks, we'll look at gun homicides, gun suicides, and firearm policy.
Update: When we called the AR15 an assault rifle, we probably should have said assault weapon. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
